I was hoping to do something with an anonymous union or some such like: union mtx_aligned { struct mtx; char[roundup2(sizeof(struct mtx), CACHE_LINE_SIZE)]; } I don't know if there is a useful way to define an 'aligned mutex' type that will transparently map to a 'struct mtx', e.g.: typedef struct mtx __aligned(CACHE_LINE_SIZE) aligned_mtx_t; -- John Baldwin
